From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Selected article star This IP address, (IP address appears here), is shared by multiple users because it is a dynamic IP. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Applying an infinite block of this IP is not appropriate because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different and unrelated and unsuspecting client of the ISP, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. In many cases, it turns out to be the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia servers. Such proxies are shared among a huge number of users compared to the number of persons using your particular machine.

You can avoid irrelevant comments by creating an account for yourself.
